4th August 2004 Kensington assessment On Monday at 8:30, Ari was expected back at Kensington Hospital for a progress assessment. Leonard and I took him in the Prado – perhaps not the best idea, since it is very high to get into. Nevertheless, now that Ari actually assists by walking his feet along the ground, … Continue reading 13. Out-patient

Friday 23rd July 2004 Ari called Gaëlle a stupid bitch because she didn’t want to take him to take a wee because she didn’t believe he had to go, because he went five minutes ago. So he says he’ll make a wee in Gaëlle’s office ! Ilan said I should record this. So we can … Continue reading 12. Three children

Friday 9th July He was having us on, Ari was. He says to me he wants to go home. I say but you are home. He says, no I’m not, I’m away. So I ask him, don’t you recognize your parent’s home, and your two dogs, Blue and Mfezi ? – No I don’t have … Continue reading 11. Out and About

I couldn’t care less about anything. Ari doesn’t even return my kisses anymore. He … Continue reading 9. Hi Honey, I’m Home !

Lusito-Land Genevieve, who is doing so well now, took me to Lusito Land with her friends. It was delicious to have such an evening out, in a crowd of unknown people, meeting new ones, getting superbly drunk together. But there was always that empty space, behind me, not holding my hand, no arms around me, … Continue reading 8. Music & Rehab

Tuesday 4th May 2004 Ari is now settling in to his new surroundings at the Rehabilitation Clinic in Kensington. He has already begun working on intensive therapy, which will have to include, of course "showing him how to hold a rod and cast ;-)". It will be several weeks still, but he is doing good … Continue reading 7. A little progress

12th April I’ve reached an understanding with life. Last night I felt free, I knew everything would be fine. I had a sort of uncanny coincidental message. Because I went to see “Timeline” the movie with Paul Walker & Billy Connelly. And you know, I think Walker looks like Neil a bit and his character’s … Continue reading 6. The end of a time

6th April Everybody was jumping up and down today. Maharaj phoned at 06h30 to tell us the good news. You have been responding to his requests. Open your eyes, open your mouth, move your leg up, turn your head! I sent 20 sms’ and I got almost as many replies. When I visited you at … Continue reading 5. Insights from a film
